In an attempt to move beyond the dress shirts, athletic socks and golf balls…we hope you’ll consider what Bluemercury, Capital Teas, and Frye have to offer for the dad in your life.
Capital Teas
This fifth-generation tea provider is opening a boutique and tasting room at 731 8th Street SE (Barrack’s Row) in the very near future.
If your dad prefers a nice glass of beer over a cocktail, then this is for him!
The Frye Company
During a 1938 trip to Washington, D.C., John A. Frye’s grandson and namesake met a U.S. Navy Admiral who noted his difficulty in finding the Wellington styles he liked so much. As a favor, John agreed to make him a pair. Frye continued to fill these requests for boots through World War II. By mail order, the company supplied thousands of brave soldiers and pilots with Frye Wellingtons, known as Jet boots. The boots traveled the world on the feet of American servicemen, from Normandy to Okinawa – even General Patton wore a pair.
The Frye Company Georgetown flagship is located at: 1066 Wisconsin Avenue, NW Washington DC 20007
